CSI: Cincinnati
One of the weird things about Catholicism is its fascination with dead body parts. So I found it strange when Cincinnati, Ohio Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk objected to a new exhibit at the Cincinnati Museum Center called, “Bodies…The Exhibition.” This was reported in the Jan 29 Cincinnati Enquirer article, “Archbishop Bans ‘Bodies’ Trips.”
“The 15,000-square-foot exhibit…is 20 human cadavers preserved by a process called polymer preservation and shown in various poses. The goal…is to show the inner workings of the human body. It includes about 200-250 preserved body parts, giving close-up views of the body's organs.” The bodies are from China, and were supposedly corpses never claimed by anyone.
Pilarczyk said, “I do not believe that this exhibit is an appropriate destination for field trips by our Catholic schools.”
The archbishop’s right hand man, Father Mike Seger said, “To treat the human body – any body – like ‘stuff’ is morally offensive and grisly. It reminds me of a carnival show of 100 years ago.”
Why are they complaining?? Rome has been the biggest dealer in body parts for centuries!!
1. Jan 22 in Catamarca, Argentina, the heart of Bishop Mamerto Esquiu (d. 1883) was stolen from a crystal urn in a local church.
2. In late 2006 the heart of St John Vianney (d. 1859) toured Long Island, New York, in a gold and velvet shrine.
3. I was recently in a lobby of a local Catholic high school, and there was a prominently displayed glass case (2’x3’) with about 20 different bones (knee, femur, parts of skull) from various saints.
4. This past December in Tucson, Arizona, bone fragments from the three wise men were on tour. The list is endless……
The Catholic use of dead body parts to get “nearer” to saints or God Himself – is pure evil. The only way for a Catholic to get nearer to God is to get further away from Rome!! I thank God for exposing the hypocrisy in the Catholic Church, and please pray daily for Catholic conversions.
